Personalized Education in Higher Education: An International Review on ERIC

Abstract

In this bibliographic article, we analyze the definitions and conceptions of personalized education in higher education, based on international texts using ERIC as a database. The choice to understand the productions on personalized education specifically in higher education arises from the need to delve deeply into the field and understand the type of personalized education discussed in the literature. When searching for texts that address this methodology, we noticed that there are several "synonyms" for personalized education. These have definitions that are distinct from one another, but are often treated as synonyms, which leads to a series of problems involving the understanding of the term. We present summaries of 12 works found and classify them as theoretical or empirical.
